Lakeshore Records: BROOKLYN - Michael Brook

Lakeshore Records will release the BROOKLYN – Original Motion Picture Soundtrack digitally and on CD November 6, 2015. The album features the film’s original score by Michael Brook (THE FIGHTER, INTO THE WILD).

Michael Brook is a Canadian, Golden Globe® and Grammy® nominated composer, producer and recording artist recognized for his unique style of composition that traverses ambient, world, Americana, electronic and orchestral territories. His work often contains unusual combinations of instruments, sounds and moods that create a powerful, unique and emotional impact.

His music career began as a recording artist, guitar player, producer and collaborator, working with artists such as Brian Eno, David Sylvian, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, The Pogues, Jane Siberry on ground breaking labels such as 4AD and Peter Gabriel’s Real World Records.

As his music began to be licensed in films such as Heat and Any Given Sunday, he developed an interest in composing for film and moved to Los Angeles from the UK in 1999. Among the notable films that he has scored are The Perks Of Being A Wallflower, The Fighter, Into The Wild, Chavez, An Inconvenient Truth and the Oscar winning documentary Undefeated.

“I don’t really score a single scene first,” Brook described. “I like to experiment and sketch for a while and find that themes and ideas gradually emerge out of the slight fog of that process. When I have a few ideas that are presentable then I’ll go to the director.”
